Ethereum mining is not interesting. We need other algorithms - neoscrypt, lyra2rev2, x16r/s, x17, cryptonight variants, progpow, equihash variants?
Lyra2rev2 definitely, but forget equihash it's ASIC owned. Do you think we will get ASIC or FPGA invasion on Lyra2rev2 algo? |

Anyone got the latest RTX series already?
I want to know other algo performance, e.g. Lyra, Equihash (various versions) etc.
I feel like there has got to be something that RTX cards excel at. We must be missing something.

Fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful. Just HODL.

So what is the best performance algo at the moment? |

Ignore Equihash - they're not going to match 11-12 thousand sol/s on 350ish watts like the Z9 mini can do, much less be in shouting range of the more efficient ASIC units like the Innosilicon. |

considering that mining is UNPROFITABLE RIGHT NOW
Interesting theory, but I'm still making enough to live on from mostly GPU mining. Profitability IS down to where only folks with very cheap electric are making any money though. With that said, I don't see the announced RTX 2070, 2080, or 2080 ti being good mining cards vs the 10xx series at their VERY HIGH PRICE, especially with the older cards starting to drop to pricing at or below where they were at 2 years ago before the big cryptocoin price runup happened - and the move of Bitmain, Innosilicon and others to put ASIC into most of what used to be the more popular GPU mined coins hasn't helped that any. It will be interesting to see how these newer cards perform on Folding (which CAN be mined indirectly), but I suspect they're not going to be price/performance competitive even there. I bet you that there will be a crazy new ETH pill available for RTX series. With the pill, I expect some crazy hashrates from 2080Ti. |

I would not assume that at all as you have no good explanation .No eth pill for 1070, 1070 ti . So their is a risk of it never happening. |

Even if it doubles the hashrate of RTX, still it won't be profitable to mine. Maybe you can generate a minimum of $2 a day. With a constant increase in hashrate every month, and ASIC's invading other algos, there won't be any reason to mine in GPU. There will be few coins. Try looking at X16r algo RVN coin. |

The free Eth pill might work on the upcoming 1060Ti (DDR5x). It owuld be fun if that card would beat the RTX 2080 on Ethash  , but in Feb it might be irrelevant, if ETH goes ProgPow. |

Seems at current price levels RTX series is unprofitable at all. Maybe later we will see the using of tensor cores in mining and corresponding increase of hashrate. But now GTX1080ti is a better choice of Nvidia GPUs for mining.

Are you sure ETH will go ProgPow? In this hobby/business filled with scammers and other type of lo-lifes you cannot be sure of anything (until you have FIAT in your hand). That's why I used "might" and "if". ProgPow rewards core clock and power a lot more that ethash so power draw will increase. |

It's not that the RTX series is UNprofitable, it's that it has a lower profit-to-cost ratio than the older 10xx series. I don't understand why Nvidia went crazy-high on the pricing on the 20xx series, seems like they're shooting themselves in the foot to a large degree with that decision for such a small improvement in performance to their MAIN market (Gaming). |

If your electricity price is over $0.15/kWh, it is not profitable to mine ETH with 1080ti. |
